May 2012 Top Posts and Commenters | Jon Stolpe Stretched

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

May was another record-breaking month for the Stretched blog. Overall traffic increased 11.26% from last month’s previous record high. In addition, the Jon Stolpe Stretched Facebook fan page has added several new followers over the past month. The community and platform are growing, and I’m excited to see how God may use the Stretched Community to impact the world.

As always, I like to share the top posts for the past month. Most of this month’s most popular posts were posted in May; however, one post from March continues to be at the top of the charts for this month. Here are the top posts from May 2012:

1. The Power To Change A Family Tree (5/2/2012)
2. Leap Of Faith (3/21/2012)

Thanks again to everyone who stopped by and to everyone who left a comment. Your readership, comments, and friendship mean the world to me. In the coming month, I will be looking for more ways to extend the Stretched Community and to broaden my platform. I am looking to launch a contest for this month. I am also looking for new opportunities to guest post around the blog world. Finally, I will be starting to build a guest post backlog and interview backlog to post while I’m in Guatemala later this summer. If you’re interested in guest posting here or participating in a Stretched interview, drop me a note in the comments so we can connect.

Thanks again for a great month. Don’t forget to share The Stretched Blog with your family and friends.

It was the kickoff for repeating some really great history. A day of prayer for our nation. Back on 5/17/1776 our founders called on the nation to pray and I took part in repeating this history!

Thanks for the chance to share about my own blog. God bless you!
